She was heavily supported by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Why would anyone be surprised that she would not speak out against amnesty?

No mention of all of the failures of marxism, the desire of powerful to be able to impose suffering on enemies (responsible and successful) and the numbers killed by leftist governments in the last 100 years (maybe 150 million).

They should have put Trey Gowdy up there to kick ass but I imagine Boner and Mitchie would have wet themselves just reading the draft of what he wanted to say

I'm sure I would have voted for her, but I can't stand to listen to her.

Funny line on FNC Kelly file 11pm special show:

Britt and Kelly pointed out how so few Dems were (holding seats) in the House to listen to Obama’s speech and then Megyn responds w this exact quote :
But all is well because as Obama pointed out , 'I won twice, hey I'm still here.' “

Kelly, still a true star.

Get off it!

You’d complain if Reagan rose from the dead and gave the rebuttal.

Weak and uninspired speech. Bread bags are all we need. She will fit in great with the Republican leaders.

“I did not know she was from Red Oak. I produced an industrial promotion video for that fine town many eons ago.
Great little town and friendly people”

Did your promotional video mention the old calendar factory? Did it mention the beautiful Victorians on the hill? Nice town and used to have an AM radio station in the late 60s-early 70s that was great to listen to.

During the campaign we got promises of the castration of Washington.

We got guns.

We got motorcycles.

We got leather jackets.

Now what do we get?

Bread bags.

> You’d complain if Reagan rose from the dead and gave the rebuttal.

Huh ?

Regan would have followed "We heard you loud and clear" with a concise enumeration of how the new majority would stop Obama's illegal expansion of presidential powers, followed by vow to rip his destructive signature healthcare plan out by the roots, before it ultimately results in single payer healthcare, more commonly known as socialized medicine, finishing up with a resolve to use every procedural tool available to halt and reverse the destructive expansion of the federal government via administrative law.

And not at any point of his rebuttal would he talk about wearing bread bags over his shoes.

The GOP is now where the dems were 50 years ago, center left.

"..now we’re getting to work to change the direction Washington has been taking our country.

wouldn't be surprised if the GOPE is setting her up to be the patsy when the promises aren't fulfilled. Similar to how they undermined Marco Rubios popularity by suckering him in to join the Gang of 8. They want TEA candidates to look untrustworthy.

The GOP’s response to the SOTU should have been its absence.

Well, she knows better than to promise results from the RINOs. Trey knows how to play the game. Tough talk no results...

Did the GOPE sucker Sparky Rubio into joining the Gang of Six as well?

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3246461/posts

Seems like Sparky here is a regular, little gang banger, don’t it?

No one suckered him, and he is untrustworthy.

In fact, it seems like a good number of people run under a TEA Party banner, and then just do whatever the hell they want once elected, just like every other politician.

Rubio looks untrustworthy, because he is untrustworthy, and I will do whatever it takes to vote him out of the senate in 2016, even if that means replacing him with a democrat.

I am damn sick and tired of being lied to by the stinking GOP.

Could it be that she sounded so elementary is that she knows how elementary are the American voters?

I don’t mind the hair, the appearance, the voice or the manner.

What really gripes me is that they had the most time ever in which to write a clear and concise rebuttal to the lies 0bama uttered with every sentence, (since 0bama released the full text hours earlier, for the first time.

But NO!, they had to go with personal stories and platitudes.

Could it be she is wearing her hair to military standards?

I have seen that style many times on servicewomen.

Lighten up!
